Editorial Review: Product Description: “There are two births—one is into the world, and the other out of the world, that is, spiritually into God. Do you want to know if your child is born? If you reach a state where you feel neither suffering nor vexation from whatever may happen, so that suffering is not suffering for you and that all things are sheer joy to you, then the child is truly born” (Meister Eckhart). This remarkable work shows Meister Eckhart, the thirteenth-century Western mystic, as the great teacher of the birth of God in the soul that shatters the dualism between God and the world and the self and God.

He has settled on the road, and for those who have learned how to listen, his existence becomes a call. This errant one dwells in joy. Through his wanderings the origin beckons.” Average Rating:

Schurmann takes the postion that Eckhart's Latin works are like signposts, while his German works invite one to a way--the way of detachment. According to Schurmann, Eckhart's mode of thought is not indicative, but imperative: herein lay the the difficulty Eckhart ran into with the Scholastic language of his accusers.
